New Publication and Exhibition in Japan for Neville Brody during February 2009 including three major events in Japan for the internationally renowned art director and graphic designer. As part of their world graphic design series ggg Japan will launch a book dedicated to and designed by Brody (the first UK designer to be given the honour).

The publication is intended to give an insight into the graphic world he has created. The publication blends a rich mix of work including iconic pieces for Stiff and Fetish records, The Face magazine, Arena and ground breaking projects for publication Fuse. Much of the work in the book will be new to readers and include recent posters for the Wolfsonian Institute (Miami) and Akademie der Künste (Berlin).

The work is complimented by an essay on Brody by designer, author and editor Adrian Shaughnessy offering an insight into the impact and influence Brody has on graphic design and visual communications as well as charting the course of Brody’s career to date.

Opening on 31st of January until 10th February an exhibition will accompany the launch of the book at the Rocket Gallery in the Harajuku district of Toyko, the hub of Toyko’s youth fashion mecca and shopping district. Curated by Brody, the exhibition will be a collage of past, recent and new work.

To open the proceedings, on January 28th Brody has been invited to speak at the British Council in Japan which will offer a rare opportunity to hear him talk about his work, passions, unique perspectives and inspirations.

On the projects in Japan Brody comments;
“ I’m thrilled to be in Japan with the launch of these three projects. It’s a great opportunity for me to show new work and I am honored to be invited to be part of the ggg series, show my work at Rocket gallery and be invited to the British Council in Japan to talk.”

A limited edition poster designed by Brody to celebrate the exhibition will be available for purchase Rocket in Tokyo. The ggg book will also be available in March directly from Research Studios London and selected retailers.
